Good Repair in southern California...

I'll echo Avguygeorge's warning about Scan Audio. They charged me $75 to put some handles back on a Perreaux 250P amp. A few days later when I was trying to figure out an unrelated problem I was having with the amp, a friendly Perreaux dealer (TotallyWired) told me how to take the top cover off. When I did, I discovered that I had just paid Scan Audio $75 for 10 minutes of work. I was so pissed I drove back to get $25 back. I'll never use them for repair work because I'll never trust that they'll provide a fair and reasonable estimate.

Thnks,Tvad. I hate being out there alone on this. The following is a TRUE statment.--Goes back to the late 80's. It was my first tube pre.The AR9. I was getting all this noise from the phono. I took it to them. They kept it for 3 weeks. They couldn't find anything wrong but I payed 40 bucks and it still had the prob.--- A day latter I discovered on my own, I needed a new tube.That was all!! Great Techs huh??------BTW, Howard, over there on Ventura Blvd ain't much better---(re. time and money) Tube gear ?? Take it to Monrovia.

Hi, is it the Scan Audio in Van Nuys you guys are refering to? If so, thank you so much, sure sounds scary. I was about to take mine over to them but I trusted your judgement. Any other recommendations in the LA county area?
